Jagged Germany

Chapter 371: Compromise (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? On December 23, Christmas Eve, Ulyanov once again held a meeting of the Supreme Council in the Winter Palace. There was only one topic of the meeting, and that was how to deal with the German military threat.

"Comrades, according to the latest information we have obtained, the Germans have dispatched two legions and have already marched to the border. It seems that they will soon cross the border and attack us. If we don't agree to their conditions, their The army will attack us directly. Although the two German legions only have more than 300,000 people. However, everyone must not forget that on the Eastern Front, the Germans only relied on less than 200,000 people. The army wiped out nearly two million Russian troops! So, once the Germans launch an attack, what can we do to resist? We can’t resist at all! Therefore, we have no choice but to accept the Germans’ demands ’” Joseph said sadly.

?? "Hmph! It's winter now. Even if the Germans want to attack, they won't do so at this time. They're just trying to intimidate us." Trotsky said blankly.

"Comrade Trotsky, there is a great possibility that the Germans are intimidating us. But what if the Germans are not intimidating, but come for real? Then what should we do? With our army, Can it withstand the German attack?" Joseph asked.

??Suddenly, Trotsky said nothing, although he believed that the German army was only threatening them with force. However, he wasn't entirely sure. Therefore, facing Joseph's question, he didn't know how to answer it at all. He couldn't just say against his conscience that even if the German army launched an attack, they would be able to withstand the German army's attack, right? That is the number one German army in the world! There is no army in the world that is confident in resisting their attack.

?? "Comrade Joseph, what kind of benefits have you received to help the Germans speak like this?" Kamenev sneered.

"Comrade Kamenev, you are slander! Naked slander. I am a loyal member of the Bolshevik Party. Everything I do is for the benefit of our party. I just don't want to watch our The party, the success that has been achieved with great difficulty, is just ruined like this." Joseph looked noble.

?? Kamenev wanted to refute, but was stopped by Ulyanov.

?? "Okay, everyone shut up! We are discussing how to solve the problem now, not attacking people." Ulyanov said with a cold face.

??The others immediately shut up and said nothing more. In any case, no one can compare with Ulyanov's status in the cloth party. Few would object to his words.

"Everyone, the current situation is indeed more dangerous. I also hope that the Germans are just threatening us. However, no one is sure whether this is just a threat or a precursor to the Germans launching an attack. If there is no We may be able to take a gamble on those opposing troops. Even if we lose the bet, it is no big deal. But, unfortunately, what we are facing now can be described as internal and external troubles. A country as powerful as Germany, when It is much better to be our friend than our enemy. Even this friend does not seem to be for long. But for our party, and for our hard-won victory, we cannot take risks lightly." Uri Yanov said.

??Many people were convinced by Ulyanov's point of view and nodded repeatedly. However, there are still many people who no longer buy it.

?? "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Then, let's vote!" Ulyanov said.

?? It is obvious that such a major matter is not decided by him alone, and it still needs to be judged by the opinions expressed by everyone. It's just that, as a leader, Ulyanov's opinion is the most important.

?? Next, the Supreme Council began to vote. Now, there are 13 members in the Supreme Council of the Burundi Party. However, in the end, there were only five people who supported Ulyanov, and there were eight people who opposed it.

"Comrades, is this your choice? Do you want to see our revolution fail? Now, because we are weak, we have to compromise. Once we are strong, we will no longer be afraid of the Germans. We can tear up the treaty at any time. In the end, the world still relies on fists to speak. Whoever has a big fist can grasp the truth. Even if we want to spread the revolution to the whole world and rescue hundreds of millions of poor people who are exploited , Without strong military strength, nothing can be done!" Ulyanov said sadly.

??The next day, the Supreme Council of the Burundi Party held a vote again, and Ulyanov was still talking about it. However, this time the voting result was 6 to 7, and there were still one more people who opposed it than those who agreed.

??Comrade Ulyanov, completely speechless. He never expected that with his position in the party, such a situation would happen. Shouldn't it be because of his appearance that others immediately followed his advice? As a result, he has been persuading him for so long, why are those guys still unclear about the situation? This made Ulyanov very angry. At the same time, there was a little more vigilance in my heart.

"It seems that I have been completely deceived by these guys during this time. I thought that they would listen to me. But I didn't expect that those guys were just perfunctory. After this crisis is over, I must Get rid of these guys!" Ulyanov secretly made up his mind.

?? Once again, the vote failed, which made Ulyanov feel very bad.

?? "Comrade Trotsky, please come to my office!" Ulyanov said.

?? "Yes, leader." Trotsky nodded.

??When Trotsky arrived at Ulyanov's office, what appeared in front of him was Ulyanov with a blackened face.

?? "Comrade Trotsky, don't you agree with our compromise with the Germans?" Ulyanov asked.

?? "Yes, leader. I always thought that the Germans were just intimidating us by force!" Trotsky said.

?? "If the Germans really want to do something, what should we do? Should we just watch our revolution fail?" Ulyanov asked.

?? Trotsky was suddenly speechless.

"Comrade Trotsky, everything we do is for the victory of our revolution! It is understandable to pay some price now for the sake of victory in the future." Ulyanov began earnestly persuasion.
